‘Star Trek Online’ star-dated: MMO launches in February

Cryptic Studios and its parent company, Atari, have confirmed that their MMO Star Trek Online will be released Feb. 2, 2010, in North America. The European launch will follow on Feb. 5, the companies told Eurogamer. This will put the game’s release safely ahead of the end of Atari’s fiscal year.

Closed beta testing of the game, which is set in the generation after Star Trek: The Next Generation, began earlier this year.
